Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA extraction for the L. braziliensis isolates was carried out using the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (Quaigen). DNA quantification was performed using Nano Drop 2000C (Thermo Fischer) and Qubit (Life Technologies). For preparation of the paired-end libraries, the NexteraXT DNA kit (Illumina) was used as recommended by the manufacturer with 1 ng of genomic DNA for each sample. Paired-end libraries were sequenced using: MiSeq Reagent Kit v2 (500-cycles); MiSeq Reagent Kit V3 (300 cycles); and Miseq Reagent Kit V3 (600 cycles). After sequencing, the quality of the data generated in the MiSeq System Illumina platform was verified through the FastQC (v.0.11.5) quality control tool (https://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/) [34 ]. The total number of generated reads from each sample and parameters such as read size and quality per sequenced base were evaluated (see S1A and S1B Fig) and also GC content. Bases with low quality (Q<30) were removed using the Trimmomatic program (version V.30) [35 (link)] applying the following parameters: -phred33, ILLUMINACLIP:AdapterFile.fasta:2:30:10, LEADING:20,TRAILING:20, SLIDINGWINDOW:5:20 and MINLEN:150. The sequences of the ten new L. braziliensis genomes were deposited in the Sequence Read Archive-SRA on Submission (SUB4143783) and in the NCBI BioProject (PRJNA475480).

Human fecal samples and zebrafish larvae were prepared using the NetoVIR protocol, with minor modifications [43 (link)]. To preserve the fecal sample for the infection experiments, no virus like particle purification was performed. RNA and DNA were extracted using the QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, without addition of carrier RNA. First and second strand synthesis and random PCR amplification for 17 cycles were performed using a modified Whole Transcriptome Amplification 2 (WTA2) Kit procedure (Sigma-Aldrich), allowing for amplification of both RNA and DNA [43 (link)]. PCR products were purified with MSB Spin PCRapace spin columns (Stratec, Birkenfeld, Germany) as instructed and library preparation was done using a modified Nextera XT DNA kit (Illumina, San Diego, California) protocol [43 (link)]. Libraries were quantified with the KAPA Library Quantification kit (Kapa Biosystems) and DNA size of libraries was obtained using Agilent High Sensitivity DNA Kit on a Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent, Santa Clara, California). Sequencing of the samples was performed on a NextSeq500 platform (Illumina) for 300 cycles (150 bp paired ends).

The genome of E. piscicida strain MS-18-199 was sequenced using long and short read technologies. Long reads were produced on a GridION sequencer (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Oxford, UK) from 400 ng genomic DNA using the RAD004 kit on a v9.4.1 flow cell. The nanopore sequences were filtered to an average quality of 10 (90% accuracy) with 100 bp cropped from each end and minimum length of 700 bp (De Coster et al., 2018 (link)) to produce 2.4 Gb of sequence from 185,481 reads ranging from 700 bp to 191 kb (average length 13.4 kb). A genomic DNA library was prepared using the Nextera XT DNA kit (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) and 150 bp paired reads were sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq4000 Platform (Novogene Corporation, Sacramento, CA). The Illumina sequence was filtered using Trimmomatic v0.38 (Bolger et al., 2014 (link)) using the parameters “LEADING:30 TRAILING:30 SLIDINGWINDOW:4:30 MINLEN:50” to produce 1.6 Gb sequence in 5.5 M paired reads.

Whole Genome Sequencing of Viral Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole genome sequencing of selected samples was performed using a previously described MiSeq-based approach (Nguyen et al., 2016 (link)). Briefly, 110μl of the selected swab in viral transport medium was centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 10 min to remove host cells or large cell debris. The collected supernatants were treated with DNase at 37°C for 30 min. Viral nucleic acid was then extracted using QIAamp viral RNA kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and recovered in 50 μL elution buffer provided with the kit. cDNA was synthesized from 10 ul of viral nucleic acid using Super Script III enzyme (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, United States) and FR26RV-Endoh primer. This was followed by the conversion of cDNA into double-stranded (ds) DNA using exo-Klenow (Invitrogen), and random amplification of the resulting dsDNA using Platinum PCR Supermix (Invitrogen) and FR20RV primer. PCR products were then purified using AMPure (Beckman Coulter, Indianapolis, IN, United States) and processed to the library preparation step using Nextera XT DNA kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, United States), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Finally, the prepared library was sequenced using MiSeq reagent kit v3 (600 cycles, Illumina), which produced read lengths up to 2 × 300 bp, in a MiSeq platform (Illumina) (Nguyen et al., 2016 (link)).

Single-Cell RNA-Seq Library Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used the SMARTer kit above to reverse transcribe single cell RNA and amplify the cDNA for 19 PCR cycles. To stabilize the RNA after quickly thawing the cells on ice, we immediately added to each sample an additional 0.125 μl of RNase inhibitor mixed with SMART CDS Primer II A. All steps downstream were carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions. cDNA concentration was quantified using Agilent Bioanalyzer High Sensitivity DNA chips. For most samples, 1 ng of amplified cDNA was used as input to make sequencing libraries with Nextera XT DNA kit (Illumina Cat#FC-131-1096). Individual libraries were quantified using Agilent Bioanalyzer DNA 7500 chips. In order to assess sample quality and adjust the concentrations of libraries for multiplexing on HiSeq, all libraries were sequenced first on Illumina MiSeq to obtain approximately 100,000 reads per library, and then on Illumina HiSeq 2000 or 2500 to generate 100 bp reads. Related to Fig. 4 and Extended Data Fig. 8.

Inoculation of the ECIV isolate onto EPC cells in four 175 cm2 flasks at a high multiplicity of infection provided third-passage material harvested after 21 days post-infection when CPE was extensive. Cell culture supernatant was clarified at 5520× g for 20 min at 4 °C. The pelleted virus was obtained by centrifugation of the clarified supernatant at 100,000× g for 1.25 h at 4 °C. The viral pellet was resuspended in 360 μL of animal tissue lysis (ATL) buffer prior to extraction of viral genomic DNA using a DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A DNA library was generated using a Nextera XT DNA Kit, and sequencing was performed using a V3 chemistry 600 cycle Kit on a MiSeq sequencer (Illumina, Germantown, MD, USA). De novo assembly of the paired-end reads was performed in SPAdes 3.5.0 genome assembly algorithm [22 (link)]. The quality of the genome assembly was verified by mapping the reads back to the consensus sequence in Bowtie 2 2.1.0 [23 (link)] and visually inspecting the alignment in Tablet 1.14.10.20 [24 (link)].

Single-cell capture was performed by C1 single-cell auto prep system (Fluidigm) following the manufacturer’s instructions17 (link). The microfluidics circuit used was the C1™ Single-Cell mRNA-seq IFC, 17–25 µm.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
